Mon, 08 Jul 2013 04:44:43 +0000http://nzaduban.wordpress.com/?p=70#comment-30I am pretty similar to you when it comes to being a “citizen journalist”. I rarely, if ever, post statuses on Facebook and I never use my Twitter (only made it for this class). But, I do use Facebook and Twitter to keep up to date on news-worthy events and issues around the world. It gives good opportunity for us to define our online identities. For me personally, that is not really something that I want to do so that is why I refrain from posting things on Facebook or Twitter. It is of benefit to us… but what about the newspaper companies or broadcasting stations? Will these traditional ways of receiving news become a thing of the past?

Sun, 07 Jul 2013 14:49:23 +0000http://nzaduban.wordpress.com/?p=70#comment-29Just like @colecrerar90, I also loved the comment you made about how you can basically understand someones exactly mentality by just the status updates they choose to write on their social media. I think thats such a good analysis because its so true, people are so candid with their opinions online, and someone like me who shares next to nothing finds it so strange. I’m like you, I think that I like to keep most of my thoughts to myself, I don’t ever update my status or really comment about controversial issues online. Not my thing. But thats not to say that I don;t enjoy reading everyone else’s comments and discussions. I will legit follow a website, or blog just to read what everyone else has to say but never will I once take it upon myself to contribute to the discussion. But this is basically my whole outlook on social media in general, I’m such a lazy consumer. Like you I think that Twitter does have the opportunity for people who are actively engaged to become a citizen journalist, but all these efforts are lost on someone like me who chooses to just sit back and let others do the producing.

Sat, 06 Jul 2013 19:36:54 +0000http://nzaduban.wordpress.com/?p=70#comment-28I like that you mentioned “it’s funny because someone that I don’t know very well, I can know their opinion on many issues because of what they tweet. I know who is a feminist, I know who is supporting gay marriage or not, I know who wants to legalize marijuana.” Just from being a user of Facebook and Twitter you can get opinions from your friends, celebrities and/or people all over the world on pretty much anything going on around the globe. Also I found this stat quite interesting by Hermida that “by 2010, all but one of the top 198 newspapers and TV stations in the United States had an official Twitter account.” This just shows that technology is taking over and even these newspapers and TV stations are aware of the changing times with social media becoming more and more important. I think it will be interesting to see how citizen journalists and the trained professionals compete in reporting the news in the years to come.

Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:34:59 +0000http://nzaduban.wordpress.com/?p=70#comment-27I agree with you that it is a real challenge for journalists to report the news with competing citizen journalists. We live in a time where people are always in a hurry and want to know the facts quickly. Thanks to citizen journalists we can learn what is happening in every area of the world in real time. There is no need to wait for a news crew or journalist to get to the area to report on the story. People can send a tweet from their own front door when they witness a big news story happening. News quickly becomes old and people are always anticipating the next big news event.

Sat, 22 Jun 2013 20:05:46 +0000http://nzaduban.wordpress.com/?p=59#comment-26I agree with you that “the fans that have an attachment to a certain type of music, or specific group/artist, that their investments and support towards the group will help them keep creating better and more music, perhaps they will consider buying more music rather than downloading it for free.” I think eliminating illegal music downloading altogether is almost impossible especially with technology these days people will always find a way to do so. My issue is that are these record companies and musicians already making enough money that the whole problem of online piracy is not affecting the music industry as much as we tend to believe?

Second, I like the way you started off this blog post with a personal evolution of your music history. I too shared and participated in a lot of the same trends you did. First a walkmen, then like some weird device with a floppy disc type thing, then basically every version of the ipod. I think that while I was writing this blog and reading the articles we all forgot to mention in changes in the devices that we use to listen music too. Everyone is talking about CD’s and not buying them and how its hurting the music industry but like for goodness sakes who carries around a boom box now a days? We all have handheld touch screen phones/tvs/stereos now. You don’t see people wearing the same clothes they wore in 2000, or rockin the same hair styles from the 90’s, so we are we expected to listen to music the same way. I think its ridiculous to make our generation feel guilty about the music choices we make, when we are just growing and moving on with all these innovations. Times change, corporations just need to jump on board, or deal with it. #thetruthhurts

Fri, 21 Jun 2013 18:12:18 +0000http://nzaduban.wordpress.com/?p=59#comment-24The only CDs I have nowadays are burnt from illegally downloaded music. It is an easier way of combining everything that you like into one great mix CD. Why pay for a CD when you can make a great one for free? Yes, it may not be high quality but I would prefer low quality over an overpriced CD from the store. You really don’t think about breaking the law when downloading music online. It is just so normal now. It is so ingrained in our generation that I do not think anything will change our downloading of music online. Record companies will have to work with this idea in order to expand their businesses.

Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:46:18 +0000http://nzaduban.wordpress.com/?p=59#comment-21I agree with you that there really isn’t a deterrent to prevent people from downloading music for free. I have also not purchased a music CD for a long time. There are not too many places where you can play them anymore. The music industry does indeed need to develop more contemporary avenues in order to generate income lost from illegal downloading. I think that music is not being seen anymore as a commodity, but as something that is shared socially in our society. Music changes so quickly that people are always after the newest releases and quickly get bored of the old songs. Gone are the days when people pay money to have the best records, tapes or CDs in their collections.
